Microsoft DreamSpark for Academic Institutions is a software licensing program for schools and colleges that teach and utilize technology. It allows access to the latest Microsoft tools, operating systems, server software, documentation and technical references for course development, instruction and non-commercial research. It also allows eligible individuals to install these tools on their personal computers.

Microsoft DreamSpark at the College of Engineering allows students (enrolled in at least one Engineering academic course during the current term), and regular Engineering faculty to use several Microsoft software products and online resources for academic purposes. For more information about eligibility and restrictions, see our page on the highlights of the software license.

Note: CAEN will not provide support for the Microsoft DreamSpark program beyond managing access and issuing downloads. CAEN will not troubleshoot or support problems with software installations, errors while using the software, or development with the software. CAEN will not support problems with Microsoft DreamSpark software on personal computers; each personal computer is unique and CAEN cannot support individual configurations.
